Re: US hostage Kassig 'killed by IS'

Right, I won't argue that the current policy of bombing their buildings and drone strikes are ineffective. I'm just asking the question as to why those are not serious?

What do you mean serious?

Re: US hostage Kassig 'killed by IS'

Are you serious? If you refer to ISIS then ground troops supported by artillery and air power will do quite nicely.

You're suggesting a full on invasion of a country to route Terrorists residing in the country. That's like going after a cockroach with a flamethrower.

How have we fought the War on Terror with both hands behind our backs. We've tried knocking down dictators, funding and aiding rebel groups (who went around to become terrorists themselves) and waged two wars in Iraq and the Afghan. If there's anything the War on Terror has been, handicapped is not one of them.

2-4. I see no denial of facts, which means you must accept them, yet still continue your blatant shilling.

Kobie give it up. Obama's politics and his failed leadership have "led" us here. You can't start to fix things until you recognize there is a problem. Can you admit that both Obama's leadership and ISIS are problems?
